Taylor & Francis Nell Walden Der Sturm and the Collaborative
Book SynopsisBased on hitherto overlooked archival material, this book reveals Nell Waldenâs significant impact on the Sturm organisation through a feminist reading of supportive labour that highlights the centrality of collaborative work within the modern art world. This book introduces Walden as an ardent collector of modern and indigenous art and critically contextualises her own art production in relation to expressionist concepts of art and to gendered ideas on abstraction and decoration. Visual analyses highlight how she collaborated with professional and experimental women photographers during the Weimar era and how the circulation of these photographs served as a means to intervene in the public sphere of culture in interwar Germany. Finally, the book provides an analysis of Waldenâs continuing work for Der Sturm after her voluntary exile from Germany to Switzerland in 1933 and highlights the importance of womenâs supportive labour for the canonisation and institutionalisation of Trade Review"Skrubbe’s book – innovative both in content as well as in methodology – illuminates the inspiring ways in which Nell Walden had succeeded in claiming agency and control over her multifaceted role as a representative of Der Sturm. ... It is an absolute must-read for everyone professionally active in the field or wanting to learn more on Der Sturm and the indispensable role that Nell Walden has played in it."--Konsthistorisk tidskrift/Journal of Art HistoryTable of ContentsIntroduction: In the Margins of the Centre 1.

Taylor & Francis Architectures Pretexts
Book SynopsisThe aim of this book is to expose readers to architectureâs pretexts that include literary narratives, film, theatre, painting, music, and ritual, as a bridge between diverse intellectual territories and architecture. It introduces a selection of seminal modern and contemporary architectural projects, their situation within the built environment, and their intellectual and formal situation/context as pretexts and design paradigms. Connections between diverse bodies of information will be cultivated along with the ability to posit consequential relationships for the production of architecture. Architectureâs Pretexts seeks to cultivate a vision for architecture that sponsors operative links between the discipline of architecture and those outside of architecture.Exploring the works of various architects including Guiseppe Terragni, Peter Eisenman, Peter Zumthor, Perry Kulper and Smout Allen, and Rem Koolhaas, this book provides the framework to understanding architecturTable of ContentsAcknowledgments. 1.

Taylor & Francis Raymond Jonson and the Spiritual in Modernist and
Book SynopsisThis is the most thorough and detailed monograph on the artwork of Raymond Jonson. He is one of many artists of the first half of the twentieth-century who demonstrate the richness and diversity of an under-appreciated period in the history of American art. Visualizing the spiritual was one of the fundamental goals of early abstract painting in the years before and during World War I. Artists turned to alternative spirituality, the occult, and mysticism, believing that the pure use of line, shape, color, light and texture could convey spiritual insight. Jonson was steadfastly dedicated to this goal for most of his career and he always believed that modernist and abstract styles were the most effective and compelling means of achieving it.Table of ContentsContentsAcknowledgmentsList of IllustrationsIntroduction: Raymond Jonson and Twentieth Century American Art: Reconsidering the Canonical in American Art History and the Spiritual in American Modernist PaintingChapter One: "Art Is as Broad as Space": Jonson’s Early Years in the West and ChicagoChapter Two: "The Land of Sunshine and Color and Tragedy": New Mexico and Jonson’s Landscape Paintings and CompositionsChapter Three: "These Are the Second Attack on the Abstract": the Thematic, Conceptual Series Paintings of 1929-1936Chapter Four: "A More Intense Participation in the Life of the Spirit": Jonson’s First Totally Abstract Paintings, His Theories of Art and the Transcendental Painting GroupChapter Five: "Fast Arriving and Spontaneous Combustions of Color–space–line and Design": Absolute Painting, 1938-1950Chapter Six: "Causing the Surface to Come to Life": Jonson’s Late Career, 1950-1978ReferencesIndex

Taylor & Francis Ltd Abstract Painting and the Minimalist Critiques
Book SynopsisThis book undertakes a critical reappraisal of Minimalism through an examination of three key painters: Robert Mangold, David Novros, and Jo Baer. By establishing their substantive engagements with Minimalist discourse, as well as their often overlooked artistic exchanges with their sculptor peers, it demonstrates that painting crucially informed the movement's development, serving not only as an object of critique but also as a crucible for its most central tenets. It also poses broader disciplinary implications as it historicizes and challenges Minimalism's death of painting critiques that have been so influential to theories of modernism and postmodernism in the visual arts.Table of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Systemic Painting: A Medium at a Crossroads; 2. Robert Mangold: Minimalist Dialectics; 3. David Novros: Painting in the House of Literalism; 4.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Realism of Piero della Francesca
Book SynopsisThe fifteenth-century Italian artist Piero della Francesca painted a familiar world. Roads wind through hilly landscapes, run past farms, sheds, barns, and villages. This is the world in which Piero lived. At the same time, Piero's paintings depict a world that is distant. The subjects of his pictures are often Christian and that means that their setting is the Holy Land, a place Piero had never visited. The Realism of Piero della Francesca studies this paradoxical aspect of Piero's art. It tells the story of an artist who could think of the local churches, palaces, and landscapes in and around his hometown of Sansepolcro as miraculously built replicas of the monuments of Jerusalem. Piero's application of perspective, to which he devoted a long treatise, was meant to convince his contemporaries that his paintings report on things that Piero actually observed. Piero's methodical way of painting seems to have offered no room for his own fantasy. His art looks deliberatelTable of ContentsContentsList of IllustrationsPrefaceIntroduction: Life and Work1 Before the Work2 The Time of the Work3 The Site In the Work4 After the WorkConclusionBibliographyIndex

Cambridge University Press Chinese Painting Introductions to Chinese Culture

From ancient scroll paintings to Buddhist grottoes to modern art, Lin Ci explores the history, theory and development of distinctive styles of Chinese painting, illustrated throughout with full color examples of these unique, treasured works of art.Table of ContentsPreface; 1. From Gu Kaizhi to Wu Daozi; 2. Desert treasures; 3. Lucid mountains and remote streams; 4. Scholar paintings; 5. Modern Chinese paintings; Appendix: chronological table of the Chinese dynasties.

Cambridge University Press Greek Vasepainting and the Origins of Visual Humour
Book SynopsisThis book is a comprehensive study of visual humour in ancient Greece, with special emphasis on works created in Athens and Boeotia. Alexandre G. Mitchell brings an interdisciplinary approach to this topic, combining theories and methods of art history, archaeology and classics with the anthropology of humour, and thereby establishing new ways of looking at art and visual humour in particular. Understanding what visual humour was to the ancients and how it functioned as a tool of social cohesion is only one facet of this study. Mitchell also focuses on the social truths that his study of humour unveils: democracy and freedom of expression; politics and religion; Greek vases and trends in fashion; market-driven production; proper and improper behaviour; popular versus elite culture; carnival in situ; and the place of women, foreigners, workers and labourers within the Greek city. Richly illustrated with more than 140 drawings and photographs, this study amply documents the comic represeTrade ReviewReview of the hardback: 'The author is thorough and I can think of no genre of Greek humour which he has overlooked, and he has been as thorough with the relevant literary evidence as with the representational. The book is very fully illustrated.' Bryn Mawr Classical ReviewReview of the hardback: 'Caricature, parody, overt sexual imagery, drunkenness, gender stereotyping, and the deconstruction of myths are investigated, categorized, and interpreted with exemplary thoroughness and psychological subtlety.' Columbia University: Choice ReviewReview of the hardback: 'This broad survey of scenes of visual humor will serve as a valuable starting point for further research. The extensive lists and citations will make the book an aid for further work on humor and should encourage more synthesis and refinement of theoretical approaches to visual humor.' American Journal of ArchaeologyTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2. Humour in the city: the world of men, women and animals; 3. Humour in the city: gods, heroes and myth; 4. Satyrs and comic parody; 5. Caricatures in Athens and at the Kabirion sanctuary in Boeotia; 6. Conclusion: vases, humour and society.
